I think I forgot to tell everyone that I BEAT KINGZOG AND MARKUSIN TWICE! AT THE SAME TIME!
I was secretly glad that at least one of us beat Squire/Gardens, even though that only happened because we were too distracted to follow groupthink and pursue the "clearly superior strategy". Guess it wasn't clear enough.
Welp, it's no secret anymore.
It was cool because I never played KingZog or FTTW on Goko (I played Hearthstone with Zog once).
All in all, it was a great night, and I legitimately enjoyed Small world despite the confusion at times. And I finally know how to play power grid. It's like some unholy union of Settlers of Catan and Monopoly.
